What is the purpose of the Fuel System?
|
Allows fuel distribution, control and storage.
|
|
|
What are the major components of the Fuel System?
|
- Main Fuel Control
- AB Fuel Control - Throttle System - Fuel Cooling - Fuel Storage |
|
|
What is the function of the Main Fuel Control?
|
- To govern the correct main fuel flow to the combustions ection controlling engine starting and operation from IDLE through MIL power, under all conditions within the flight envelope.
- Fuel from the main system is also used as a working fluid or hydraulic and cooling tasks. |
|
|
What is the function of the AB Fuel Control?
|
Governs the correct AB Fuel Flow (WFR) controlling AB operation from AB start through MAX power, under all conditions withing the flight envelope.
|
|
|
What is the function of the Throttle System?
|
It provides the pilot control of the Aircraft Engines.
|
|
|
What is the Throttle System?
|
- It is a fly-by-wire system with no mechanical connections to the engines.
- Made up of a throttle quadrant mounted on the left hand console of the cockpit and along with a grip on each throttle lever. |
|
|
What is the location of the ECA?
|
It is mounted on each engine.
|
|
|
What does the ECA provide?
|
It provides full control of the engines based on throttle lever position.
|
|
|
How does the left/right throttle levers control the left/right engines respectively?
|
Independently
|
|
|
Where are throttle commands and feedback signals sent to and received?
|
From each ECA.
|
|
|

|
|
How many external fuel tanks can be installed on F/A-18E/F?
|
Up to 5 external tanks
|
|
|
F/A-18 models ranges from approximately ______ lbs in an F/A-18C with no external tanks to as much as __________ lbs in an F/A-18E configured with five external fuel tanks.
|
10,200 lbs, 30,000 lbs
|
|
|
Why are wing tanks foam?
|
It allows them to self-seal holes or damage, decreasing fire and explosion hazards.
|
|

|
Signal Data Computer
|
|
|
What system separates fuel from the motive flow fuel at the heat exchanger wash filters?
|
Hot Fuel Recirculation System
|
|
|
How are fuel quantity in each tank measured?
|
Capacitance gauging transmitters
|
|
|
What are the 2 secondary power systems?
